Radiation went well
Intense pain gave Lou no hope
First hospice visit
The cancer started growing very close to the spinal cord and we went to the doctor and they x-rayed. They were afraid of his becoming paralyzed. So they decided that maybe they should do some radiation to kill that cancer near the spine. They said 25 treatments and he said, fine. And I think it ended up being 37 treatments. Every day for that many weeks and he weathered that pretty good. He didn't start getting sick until he got kind of nauseous at the end. He's built of strong stuff.
